watch of this video if you want to learn five different ways to disagree with
someone very politely in English coming up hey friends
teacher Prix here to help you talk to anyone anywhere anytime in English hey
thank you so much for joining me on another video I really appreciate you
coming back and if it's your first time coming here
hey how about subscribing you know becoming part of this beautiful
community of English learners that way I get to help you with daily lessons from
Monday to Friday that I am sure will help you become a better English speaker
very nice my friends today I'm gonna give you some expressions five phrases
that you can use when you need to disagree with someone in English so
let's get down to business and focus on the first one which is I see what you're
saying but so in this case when you use this phrase you don't agree okay and
it's a polite way to say that you don't have the same opinion you don't agree so
here I'm giving you an example imagine a conversation person A person B I am
positive I am sure that if we soften our crime laws violence will reduce will
decrease so I am positive that if we soften our crime laws violence will reduce
now the other person doesn't agree so the person can say hm you know Jack I
see what you're saying but I am not sure this would be the best
way to manage crimes to handle crimes especially in our country so here I am
politely disagreeing with someone about a very specific subject okay Oh teacher
Prix can I use this only in formal situations not really you can use this
in formal informal situations it depends on the kind of conversation that you're
having if it's a very serious and formal conversation
then this is not the best one for you but if it's a work meeting you're
talking with your colleagues and you don't agree and it's not such a formal
meeting then you're good to go okay the next expression is true that's
a fair point but I have to disagree okay so in the first part you say true that's
a fair point so here in the beginning you agree with a little information that
the person said so you understand an important part of the person's answer
but you don't agree okay so here I have an example that will clarify that for
you if Caleb is old enough to drive he is old enough to get a job he really
needs to make his money so maybe it's a father or a mother and they're talking
about their son who can drive so he should get a job you know make his money
be independent but then the other person maybe the mother or the father will say
well that's true that's a fair point but I have to say I disagree Caleb is
trying to get into university he really needs to focus so why does the person
that person B disagree maybe it's okay it's true he's old enough it's a fair
point it's just but he needs to focus so that he can pass and get into a
university he's probably studying for a test so it's better to focus and if he
gets a job it won't work okay next expression and make sure to hit like
button that way you help the channel grow I'm not sure I agree with you on
and then the situation so I'm not sure I agree with you on can be used in formal
and informal situations it depends on the conversation okay and remember
whenever you are disagreeing with someone you have to be careful okay and
respectful more importantly so here I have a situation
maybe someone is telling me maybe it's a work environment and they're having a
problem so here he says Ellen I know you mean well you mean well I know you mean
well means I know you have good intentions okay I know you mean well I
know you have good intentions but I'm not sure I agree with you on giving Alex
another chance it's the third time this week
he's late for work and he never does what he is asked I think it's time to
fire him so understanding the context maybe it's two people having a
conversation at work and they are having problems with Alex maybe Ellen wants to
talk to him and give him another chance you know he's young he's going to learn
but the other person doesn't agree he's not sure he agrees or she is not sure
she agrees with Ellen on giving Alex a second chance and then he continues to
explain it's the third time he's late and he never does what he is asked to do
so it's time to fire him okay this happens people when you are working it's
important that you do your job you know it's kind of part of the job moving on
let's see what else we got here next expression I'm afraid I disagree frankly
to be fluent you only need to speak and listen to native speakers hmm well my
friends I'm afraid I disagree with you English fluency requires the mastery of
other Englis skills not only speaking and listening you need a little bit more
if you want to speak English very well and reach fluency so this is a very
polite way to disagree with someone when you say I am afraid you're already
starting in a polite way okay so I'm afraid I disagree can be
used in formal informal situations it depends on what you're talking about
okay so it's a very common phrase you should use it and finally number five
make sure to subscribe okay every week I post different kinds of videos to help
you videos like this one so make sure to be part of this community the
next and last phrase of the day is I don't see it that way here the idea is
to say that I don't have the same opinion I don't see it the same way I
don't have the same opinion I disagree so here I have an example a conversation
okay Erica is not doing well in this department
I knew promoting her was a mistake so it's person number one she is not
happy with Erica Erica's not doing a good job and now the
person is questioning promoting her was a bad idea then the other person is
saying I don't see it that way she is adjusting Erica is adjusting it's
her first week give her a chance she will get the hang of it she will learn
she will get better so it's a conversation one person doesn't like
Erica Erica's work in the new department the
other person disagrees and says hey I don't see it the same way you know I
don't see it that way give her a chance it's her first week she's going to learn
these five phrases are very commonly used in everyday conversations start
paying attention because many times English learners are very worried about
finding the I don't agree I disagree and there are more different ways to say
that you disagree with someone in a polite way
whether you're talking to a friend or talking to your boss okay homework of
the day is to choose your favorite phrase from this lesson and post here in
